This item is one of the few two-handed weapons of use to anyone other than a Crusader, since the legendary affix provides the potential for massive damage, especially against enemies with very high hit points. Many players on the highest difficulty levels carry one of these in their inventory and switch to it at the start of battles with especially big bosses, such as Rift Guardians. The issue of players switching to this in Greater Rifts was a point of debate when that feature was first introduced.

"This pestilence threatens to destroy our city, General Arenton. See that the plague dead are kept only in the Repository, and use this weapon to set their bodies aflame. Would that the memory of this tragedy could burn with them." –Justinian II, year 1200
